Ezinsukwini ezimnyama ngokuqhathaniswa ze-Wii U, ngokuvamile kwakudingeka sigxile kakhulu kumageyimu e-indie ukuze sidlule esomiso esibi kakhulu sezinyanga phakathi kokukhishwa okukhulu kweqembu lokuqala. Ngenhlanhla, ama-studio amancane ahlukahlukene akhuphuka futhi elinye eliyigugu lalinjalo I-Axiom Verge, into engakholeki neze I-Metroidvania lokho kwakhiqizwa ngokuphelele ngokulunga one indoda enekhono ngokuphawulekayo. I-Axiom Verge ngabe ilungile njengokukhululwa okuzimele, kodwa ngokusobala uThomas Happ wayenemibono eyanele esele azizwa enesidingo sokukhiqiza ukulandela okugcwele. I-Axiom Verge 2, igeyimu ezwakala ihlukile kowandulelayo ngezindlela ezithile ezibalulekile kuyilapho umdlalo wegeyimu uzwakala upholishelwe njengoba wake waba njalo, okwenza umuzwa wekhwalithi ephezulu ngokumangazayo ukusuka esiqwini kuye kwesinye.
Ngokungafani nomdlalo wokuqala, owakubona udlala njengososayensi ogama lakhe lingu-Trace, ukulandisa kwe-Axiom Verge 2 kulandela u-Indra Chaudhari, i-CEO yebhiliyoni yenhlangano enkulu yamazwe ngamazwe. Kukhona okwangempela Ezintabeni Zobuhlanya u-Indra ezithola ethatha i-chopper esiteshini socwaningo esikude sase-Antarctic esiphethwe yinkampani yakhe ngemuva kokuthola umlayezo ongaqondakali obonisa ukuthi indodakazi yakhe elahlekile ingase ibe lapho. Ngeshwa, zonke izisebenzi ezansi zibonakala zinyamalele ngaphandle komkhondo, futhi izinto ziba zimbi nakakhulu lapho u-Indra ewela ngephutha emhumeni futhi... waminza. Lapho efika, u-Indra uthola ukuthi uhanjiswe endaweni ehlukile futhi wanikezwa 'umzimba omusha' ngumuntu owenziwe ongaqondakali.
Uma kunento eyodwa ukulandisa kwe-Axiom Verge 2 ehamba phambili kuyo, kugcina umdlali elokhu ezibuza ukuthi kwenzekani emhlabeni. Unikezwa ulwazi olwanele oluzwakalayo ukulandisa, futhi izikhala zigcwaliswa kancane kancane njengoba uthola amalogi ombhalo ongawakhetha endleleni, kodwa akuvamile ukuba kube khona isikhathi lapho uzwa sengathi uwaqonda ngempela wonke amandla adlalwayo. Awunaso isiqiniseko sokuthi u-Indra uyaphupha, ufile, noma kukhona okunye ngokuphelele, okunikeza zonke izinqubo okungacacile kahle, ubuhle bephupho lomkhuhlane. Futhi ngaphandle kokonakala kakhulu, lokhu kukhululwa enza ekugcineni iveze ukuxhumana kwayo okuthakazelisayo ne-Axiom Verge yasekuqaleni.
Kulokhu, umdlalo wegeyimu uxutshwe kancane kusukela kowokuqala. I-Axiom Verge 2 iseyi-2D Metroidvania, kodwa impi manje isigxile kakhulu ekukhetheni iqhwa u-Indra alithola ngokushesha. Lokhu kudinga ukuthi usondelane futhi usondelane nazo zonke izitha obhekene nazo kulo mdlalo, futhi ngenkathi unenketho ehlukahlukene ngendlela ye-boomerang oyithola kamuva, ukulwa kunokugeleza okuhluke ngokungangabazeki. Akukona ngempela ukuthi kungcono noma kubi kakhulu kunalokho okwafika ngaphambili, futhi kamuva kunwetshwa njengoba uthola izimfihlo eziningi emhlabeni, kodwa kuzwakala sengathi lokhu kungase kube isici esihlukanisa kakhulu sokukhishwa okusha.
Ngenhlanhla, imibono emisha yokudlala igcina kokubili ukuhlola nokulwa kuzizwa kukusha njengoba ukuzizwisa kuqhubeka. Isibonelo, unikezwa ikhono kusenesikhathi elikuvumela ukuthi ugqekeze noma yimuphi umshini endaweni yakho eseduze. Lokhu akukuniki nje kuphela inketho yokunqoba izithiyo ezehlukene ezake zama endleleni yakho, kodwa futhi kukuvumela ukuthi ulawule iningi lezitha ohlangabezana nazo. Ngokusebenzisa amaphuzu asebenzisekayo, ungenza izinto ezifana nokwenza izitha zakho zikulwele noma uzenze ziqhume noma zikhiphe amaconsi ezempilo. Ukuconsa kancane koomakhenikha abafana nalokhu okushintsha ngokuyisisekelo indlela obheka ngayo i-Axiom Verge 2, okuyenza ibe uhlobo lomdlalo olujabulisa kakhulu uma uqhubeka.
Amaphaseji asabekayo, angajwayelekile okukhishwa kwasekuqaleni adayisiwe lapha ukuze athole indawo engokwemvelo, evulekile, kodwa imephu izwa sengathi iklanywe ngokuhambisana kakhulu. Yize unikezwe umaka okhombisa ukuthi uye kuphi kumephu ukuze uqhubekisele phambili indaba ngokulandelayo, kuzwakala sengathi ungangena noma iyiphi indlela futhi wenze inqubekelaphambili ephusile. Ukuthuthukiswa okubalulekile namathuluzi kuhlakazekile yonke indawo ku-Axiom Verge 2, eyinikeza umuzwa omuhle ongenawo umugqa ongakuvimbeli ngokuqinile ekunamatheleni endleleni ethize ewumugqa.
Ingxenye enkulu yalokhu kungahlangani kungenxa yomshini omusha 'wokwephulwa kwemithetho' owethulwe kusenesikhathi. Unikezwe ukufinyelela ku-spider drone encane engakwazi ukufinyelela izingosi ezinamachashazi azungeze imephu, futhi ukudlula kwenye thatha indiza ezindizayo iye kwenye indiza ephilayo efana nalena u-Indra akuyo. Ezinye zezindida ezichaza kabanzi ku-Axiom Verge 2 zidinga ukuthi usebenzise ngobuhlakani izindlela emhlabeni owodwa ukuze uthole ezintsha kwelinye, okwenza umhlaba osuvele umkhulu uzwe ukuthi i-labyrinthine futhi iheha kakhulu.
Ngokuhambisana nokuthuthukiswa okuphawuleka kakhulu, izifunda eziningi ziqukethe inani lamaqoqo amancane angena ohlelweni olusha lwamaphuzu wamakhono. Lokhu kwethula isici se-RPG-lite ku-loop yokudlala umdlalo, njengoba ungakhetha ukuthi ufuna ukwakha kanjani amakhono ka-Indra nozakwabo werobhothi. Izinto ezifana nempilo, isivinini sokuhlasela, namazinga okugebenga zingathuthukiswa ngamaphoyinti ekhono ukuze abe usizo kakhulu, futhi nakuba kubonakala sengathi ukufakwa okungavamile ekuqaleni, isistimu yamakhono entsha yenza umqondo ekusebenzeni. Manje, okuqoqiwe kungenzeka kube yinoma yini ofuna kube yikho, kunokuba kukushiye udumazekile ngokuthola okunye ukuthuthukiswa kwezempilo noma ukuthuthukiswa kokuhlasela obungakudingi ngempela.
Labo kini abafuna ukuphinda badlalwe bazokujabulela ukwazi ukuthi i-Axiom Verge 2 ihlala kahle kuleyo ndawo emnandi lapho izwa sengathi ingeyinde kakhulu noma ingefishane kakhulu. Kufanele kukuthathe cishe amahora ayishumi nanhlanu ukubona ukulandisa kuze kufike esiphethweni sakho, futhi ungalindela ukungeza amanye ayishumi kulokho uma ufuna ukuqedela. Sibona kubalulekile ukuthi siqhubeke sikhombise ukuthi lolu hambo luqinile ngendlela emangalisayo, siqinisekisa ukuthi lawo mahora ayishumi nanhlanu adlula kahle lapho ibhola seliginqika ngempela. Futhi, labo kini abangakwazi ukuthola okwanele banenketho ye-speedrun abangayibheka, ekuvumela ukuthi ugijimele igeyimu ngesikhathi esisodwa ngaphandle kokubhekana nanoma yiziphi izigcawu zokusika, ukumiswa, noma okuqukethwe okungahleliwe. I-Axiom Verge 2 ingase ingadlaleki ngokungenamkhawulo, kodwa kunokuthile okumelwe kushiwo ngomdlalo ofana nalo oletha okuhlangenwe nakho okugxilile nokuhle kakhulu ngaso sonke isikhathi esilinganiselwe sokusebenza. Asikho isikhathi esichithwayo noma okuqukethwe okungadingekile lapha, i-Axiom Verge 2 iyigesi futhi awekho amabhuleki.
Ngenkathi ukukhishwa kwasekuqaleni kwakukubi kakhulu emngceleni nezithombe zakhona ezimnyama nomculo ongahlaliseki kahle, i-Axiom Verge 2 izizwa imema kancane ngokuyihlazo. Yize uchitha isikhathi sakho esiningi uhlola izindawo ezibandayo, zasendle nemigede, kunephalethi ebanzi kakhulu yemibala egqamile esetshenziswa lapha. Yize kuzwakala njengekhefu esimweni esidabukisayo sokuzihlukanisa esifike ngaphambili (esisithanda), siye sajabulela ukuklanywa okuhlukahlukene kwezindawo lapha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusekuningi uyinqaba izinto okufanele uzibuke, futhi zonke zisekelwa iculo elifanele le-sci-fi elikugcina uzinzwane zakho.
Isiphetho
I-Axiom Verge isenzo esinzima ngokumangazayo ukusilandela, kodwa uThomas Happ usekwenzile futhi ekukhiqizeni i-pitch ephelele, ehambisana kahle kakhulu ne-Metroidvania adventure. I-Axiom Verge 2 ibhalansisa kahle izici ezijwayelekile ezenze okwangempela kwaba kuhle kakhulu futhi kwazama imibono emisha enikeza inkondlo elama ubunikazi bayo, futhi nakuba abathandi bomdlalo wokuqala bengathatha isikhathi ukulungisa, yonke into iyahlangana futhi yenze okuhlangenwe nakho okunamandla ukuthi cha. umlandeli wohlobo uzofuna ukuphuthelwa. Umkhathi ongaqondakali, ijubane elijabulisayo, kanye nedizayini yomhlaba emangalisayo konke kuhlangana ndawonye ukuze kwenzele ukulandelela okufanelekile okuzimela kahle ngokwakho. Zenzele umusa futhi uthathe i-Axiom Verge 2 ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, lona umdlalo osifanele isikhathi sakho.
